Kentucky Adopts New License Plates

FRANKFORT, KY -- Goevernor Ernie Fletcher of Kentucky is scheduled to announce a new license plate design at a news conference next Tuesday. Kentuckians wait with baited-breath to see the long-awaited change.

In 2002, then-Governor Paul Patton unveiled a new license plate design for the state of Kentucky. With a smiling sun in the center of the plate, the design immediately came under attack. "It's just TOO cheerful", said many. "It's silly", said others. "The plate makes us look like idiots", said more than a few.

To overcome this perception that Kentucky is a really cheerful place, the new design will feature words that convey a significantly different message. The only problem with the new design is that it leaves no room for the license plate number. Darn!

Leaking sources close to the Cumberland Gap, tell Kajun News that the new Kentucky license plate design will feature a portrait of Dick Cheney in a red and grey Halliburton truck, in the center of the plate.
